HTC 8X - Pocket-lint

If apps aren't much interest to you, then the 8X will suit you down to the ground. Windows Phone has most bases covered, but even so there are some missing

Lovely hardware, great screen, brilliantly designed OS, fast and responsive

Nowhere near enough Windows Phone apps, HTC hasn't developed any value for the Windows Phone platform, camera isn't brilliant, battery life is average

As a piece of hardware the HTC 8X is a lovely phone. The screen is larger than the iPhone but not as overbearing as the Samsung Galaxy S III or the Nokia Lumia 920. The polycarbonate shell gives you a lovely feeling and for us the dimensions work...

HTC Windows Phone 8X video review

We like the thin and light design of the 8X, which comes in four different colours. Its rounded edges and smooth curving back give it a svelte look, while the rubbery finish is pleasant to the touch and aids grip.

HTC Windows Phone 8X review

A plus point for us, especially when compared to Nokia's Lumia 820 and 920, is the size and weight of the 8X. This smartphone is more up to date and manageable with its thickness and scale figures of 10mm and 128g.

HTC Windows Phone 8X by HTC review

As its clumsy name suggests, this is HTC's first Windows Phone 8 handset - we'll just call it the HTC 8X from now on. On the surface, Windows Phone 8 is only a mildly tweaked version of Microsoft's slick mobile operating system, but there have been...

A competent Windows Phone 8 handset, but it's worth spending a bit more for the superior Nokia Lumia 920

HTC 8X review

Given Nokia and Microsoft's ‘special relationship' we were expecting the Lumia 920 to be the first Windows Phone 8 handset to grace Stuff Towers, but HTC in all of its expectation-defying wisdom has sent the 8X – or Windows Phone 8X by HTC to give it...

HTC 8X review

HTC's 8X is the firm's flagship handset running the new Windows Phone 8 OS, and is the bigger brother of the 8S (shown above, right). We take a closer look at the svelte smartphone.

We can't give a verdict before testing out the 8X more thoroughly. As soon as we get a review model, we'll put it through its paces and update this article. What's disappointing, though, is the lack of expandable storage given the paltry 16GB - with no...
